Who Won Pac-Bradley? Post fight discussion STOP MAKING NEW THREADS ABOUT THIS FIGHT.

Manny still has exceptional speed as he was able to dodge incoming punches as well as tag Bradley with solid ones along the way, the power may have dipped a bit but i think Manny was not going for the knock out in this match for he was always looking out for the counter, that's why he was not sitting down on his punches more... But one thing that i noticed the biggest difference is in Manny's HUNGER for the GAME/KILL... I've noticed this ever since the Margarito fight, he is still a beast from start up to maybe a third part of the match but tends to get comfortable at the later rounds specially if he knows he was winning.... He is a fighter that has too many distractions, he is the only fighter that is also a politician and now a preacher of god, say what you say but this activities takes away Manny's focus somehow leading to his training before the fight. In complete contrast to other boxers that has only one thing, one focus in their mind... I really hope the lost will bring back the old complete beast in Manny, i hope we get to see that in the rematch....

those number are no bull****, I am sure you have seen the fight, only thing bradley was always moving away minimizing the damage...

the numbers are complete bull****, bro. it's embarrassing that people actually talk about compujoke in a supposedly serious boxing discussion.

what's unique about every pacquiao fight is that his opponents always give up trying. in the later rounds bradley knew pac is miles ahead on points and the only way to win the fight is by ko. this is normal. i rarely see fights where the opponent is aware that he's way behind on points do nothing in the later rounds. yet bradley, once again in a pac fight, was there on survival mode up to the twelfth round.

IMO Pac started changing after he saw what he did to Margarito. His will to really want to hurt/ko his opponent seemed to change after that.

Manny's legs are "gone" as Roach would say. Seems his power has diminished as well.

His once superb stamina has drastically taken a hit as well.

i think you may be right on with that statement Lorily. He could have blinded Tony if he went for the ko, and he knew it. Maybe his concience got to him.

[BartBears]

He still great imo, he would easily Ko or tko Bradley in the mid rounds but for some unknown reason he suddenly stepped off the gas in round 7 or 8.

Why are some Pacquiao fans so obsessed with glorifying their man?

Pacquiao flopped after the 7th. He looked totally fatigued while Bradley put on a brave performance. When you have a close fight decisions can always go either way.

Because they hate being wrong, and refuse to acknowledge that Manny isn't the best fighter today, because as long as Floyd is still active, Manny will always be second best, at best.

Everybody saying boxing is dead is really starting to annoy me

Those aren't real boxing fans, real fans will stick with the sport they love for the love of the sport, not leave it because of politics, corruption, or any other superficial excuse.

Because Jim Lampley said he won

Exactly.

He was busy chasing Bradley cuz Bradley kept eating straight lefts and didn't want to stay in the pocket with pac. He got tired from following him. Even Roach told him in the corner to stop following Bradley.
